Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland

Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland began in 1876. Its main purpose is to disseminate scientific knowledge of the Mineral Sciences (mineralology) as it may be applied to the fields of crystallography, geochemistry, petrology, environmental science and economic geology. In support of this vision, the society publishes scientific journals, books and monographs. It also organizes and sponsors scientific meetings, and the society connects with other societies which have similar scientific interests. Some of these other societies are the International Mineralogical Association, the European Mineralogical Union, the Mineralogical Society of America, the Mineralogical Association of Canada, the Geological Society of London, IOM3, and the Society of General Microbiology.

The Society publishes a variety of book series, and these are entitled the "Landmark Series", the "Mineralogical Society Special Series", and the "Monograph series". The organization also publishes scientific journals entitled Mineralogical Magazine, Clay Minerals, and the EMU Notes in Mineralogy and from 1920-2008 the Mineralogical Abstracts bibliographic database.

The Society recognizes distinguished accomplishments through medals, lectures, fellowships and awards:
